Old McDonalds

One thing about McDonalds -- you can count on consistency, from Lenexa to London to Seoul to Chicago. It's Gabriel's favorite 'date' spot -- though it's NOT because of the food! We're hanging out in a McDonalds Play Place this evening while we await word on Thea Barbara, and Gabe is meeting a series of interesting people. He just played for an hour with a 5 and a 7 year old. That started with punches and kicks, and ended with respect and friendship, and I even got to talk with their dad for a while.

The excitement may be wearing off, though. This is not a common pose in a Play Place...
